ROUND 2-Tubes & Tear Ducts

As many of you might know or I think I have posted before. Kennedy had tubes put in her ears and her tear ducts opened back in January. Well since that surgery we have been going to check ups at the ENT.It seemed that her right ear tube was clogged. So after months of revisits and ear sound checks we decided to do tubes again. As if that wasn't enough, her eyes started watering really bad again. So last week Kennedy went back to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and we redid both. The ENT said that her right ear had completely kicked her tube out and the ear drum had closed back up. Basically it was just hanging out in there. The left ear tube was starting to work its way out. The eye doctor put 2 stints in her tear ducts to keep them open. We have to go back in 8 weeks to get them taken out. The doctors said some children's bodys react this way. The body does not like foreign objects and rejects them. Anyways, it was so hard putting her to sleep again. I loose it every time. She had a harder time coming out of the anethsia this time too. I think since they had to put her alseep for a tad bit longer. She was not a happy camper. We came home and she pretty much slept all day. She had a runny bloody nose and some bruising under her eyes, but by the next day she was fine. So far everything seems to be working. (fingers crossed) She is such a little trooper and is never unhappy. We are so blessed that this is the most of our worry's. Childrens Healthcare is great. We are fortunate to be so close to an excellent pediatric hospital!





Pool Time





We have been frequent pool goer's recently. We let her ride in our laps on the way up to the pool and daddy even lets her drive sometimes. Now she thinks whenever we get in the car she can drive. We might have created a problem. Kennedy loves the water and has no fear. She will not think twice about stepping off the edge. We can't take our eyes off her. She is a great kicker and is starting to blow bubbles. Except when she sucks the water in and it goes up her nose. She hates that. At night we eat popsicles on the back porch and let her play in her backyard pool before tubie time. She loves to run through the sprinkler and giggles when it catches her. Here are some pics of pool time.

Harrison Hoyas LAX State Runners Up



Well Daddy's LAX team made it to the state championship, but lost to Walten. We are so proud of the Hoyas and all they accomplished this year. This was daddy's first year being head coach of the LAX program. He did a great job. We are so thankful to the Harrison LAX booster club and how sweet they were to us this year. We are looking forward to a great season next year!
